War Poets

The War Poets The First World War wasn`t a world war but a war of dominance in Europe chiefly by the Franc, British and Germany. World War 2 included most country it was a nasty war millions of people died, but strangely this war is partly forgotten. It changed the map and brought forward Israel, which became a torn for lasting peace in the Middle East. But the war brought us great American writers like Theodore Dreiser, Ezra Pound (poet) Ernst Hemingway and many others great writers. The savagery of that world didn`t include so many poets as the dispute in Europe also called a world war did, the reason we remember it so well is thanks to Wilfred Owens and his intimate friend Frederic Sassoon who ploughed deep furrows in our mind and did away with flowering poetry, gritty realism was and still is what poets should strive for.
